H. C. OF COLDS. Why. not re
duce your holiday expenses by cut
ting out the h. c. of your annual
cold? N
If you are a person of normal
health, you probably manage to keep
well up to Christmas, and then you
succumb to a cold in the head, or to
the grip, or bronchitis, or tonsilitis,
or influenza.
v And you do not worlf very well for
a' few days while you are coming
down with your cold; then you stay
away from work a few days more;
then you work badly while that mean
feeling lasts; and then there is th4
dc "tor's bill and the drug store ex
penses. Common colds have been 'estimat
ed to cost the population of certain
states $3,000,000 a year. Really,
considering the advanced pric.es of
medicine, and the wages lost, only
the wefl-to-lo can afford to catch
cold.
But in this matter the poorest can
become philanthropists. Whoever
manages to get through the winter
without his annual sheeiing or
coughing spell is conferring a benefit
on the whole community.
There are two ways of cutting the
high cost of colds for your own sake
and' of proving yourself a public
benefactor as well;
I. Avoid exposure to infection
when a member of the family brings
a germ cold into the house, and, if
you catch a cold, sneeze and cough
behind your handkerchief and avoid
infecting others.
2. Drink two quarts of water a
day; sleep with your bedroom win
dows wide open never mind the
snow outside cover up; sit, stand
and walk erect, and walk every day
in the open air; keep clean; eat slow
ly and do not eat too much. The
Christmas feast is responsible for
many, a hard cold. ,
Build up your vitality and your
physical resistance and taking cold
will -cease to be a part of your yearly
history and a-tax on your income.
WET SUBSTANTIALITY. The
interstate commerce commission

ern to be "one of the substantial rail
roads of the country. "-
In valuing itthe commission found
that it could be reproduced new for
$46,274,000, yet its capitalization is
$99,000,000. - ' .
A. perfect picture of substantiality!
Viewing that vast expanse of "waters-why
look elsewhere for location
